Global Steering Systems: 7.7 TCR = 142% of Automotive, truck and bus suspension assemblies and parts (except springs) manufacturing BLS 5.4 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Global Steering Systems safety composite

Global Steering Systems scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 3%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers. A missing measure drops out and redistributes its weight rather than deflating the score. This is a per-dimension breakdown, distinct from the single letter grade above it (which weights TCR alone against the BLS industry benchmark).
